and about the time he got ont he drew a
pension from the United States govern
ment Of over $4,000.
Lift Hanes, of Gilner county, has rather
a peculiar history. Just after the war he
had $500 in gold, aud kept it in bis trunk.
One Sunday morning he started to church,
and fearing some one would break in and
steal his little fortune, he returned and care
fully wrapped the gold in rag and con-
cealed it in a crack of the house. During
his absence at church thief broke in, rified
everything, beds, boxes and trunks in search
of money, but failed to find any. This bold
break thoroughly frightened Hanes and
he resorted to another mode OF
concealment Taking jug and
filing off its neck 50 as to adj
NIT species of all kinds, he carefully con-
cealed il in a by-way near his mountain
home and rolled a large 15O-pound rock over
it, Since then he has added every dollar to
its bulk he could accumulate, never remov-
ing it from its sequestered haunt. Inc
other day he took out his jug TO pay for a
farm which he had purchased in Cherokee
county, and on taking it to Jasper to count
out the money it was found to contain
81 500 The farm Jumped the pile, but it is
said to be worth $4,000. His life has been
one of comparative seclusion, and his little
ante-bellum repository is now the means OF
future comparative ease.
S. j. Smith, a working farmer of
Dodge county, living about seven miles west
of Eastman, was perhaps fatally injured on
the railroad Of the Amoskeag Lumber Com
pany last Friday afternoon. Mr.. Smith
had been to Eastman, and on starting home,
as was his custom, he boarded the train at
the Amoskeag works. When the train
reached the place where he had usually been
getting off Mr.. Smith was standing on the
rear trucks, and, motioning the engineer to
slow up, the train was soon almost at
a standstill Just at this time MIR.
Smith stepped off the rear end and at
tempted to leave the track before the train,
which was backing, could oveTtake him.
He had not taken more than one step, how
ever. before his foot came in contact with a
crosstie and he fell, the trucks passing over
him. As soon as possible he was taken from
under the cars, and carried to his home some
distance off. An investigation revealed the
to contemplate. Both arms were com
was terribly bruised, besides other
injuries. Drs. Buchan, Latimer and Fisher
were hastily summoned and amputated the
right arm. 1t was thought that the un-
fortunate man could not bear up under the
operation of taking off the left arm, and
that was deferred for the present, though
there is absolutely no hope OF saving it. Mr..
Smith at last accounts was in very critical
condition, and his death at any moment
would not surprise his physicians He has
wife and two children dependent upon
hin for support.

and gun and shot quail and jack rabbits
and sold them in San Francisco. Quail
brought 81 and IS per dozen dead and
S12 alive, and jsck rabbits 81 and So
each. The second time | went back TO
San Francisco the cholera was raging
there. Men were dropping dead like
sheep.
81 went into the diggings again, and
we came across big lock near middle
fork standing high out of the water,
which whirled IN swift eddy around it.
We knew if there was any gold in that
locality it would be right in that eddy.
So we filed bags with sand, made dam
to turn the water aside, so we could get
at it. The very first dip of my pan
brought up S21S worth of gold. After
working there week we divided up snd
each got $500 as his share. There were
six of us.
"Afterl we got that hole worked out
we began on the high banks, and 1t paid
well, but the work was too dangerous.
There were large loose rocks overhead,
snd one day just saved myself by swing
ing to ledge in time TO let one pass un-
der me as it rolled down the bank. After
that we stopped work there. The next
rich place we struck was in Onion valley.
When we got there 1t was so cold that we
could work only tive hours day but each
of us made from $50 to $40 q day. The
gold was in large nuggets. Some were
found worth $50 to $40. 1t was very
late when we struck there ard could not
stay long on account of the cold. We
left party there, and my brother told
me that they had been showed in without
fuel, and most of them were severely
frostbitten and some died from exposure.
"None of US got rich,' DR.. Dawes con-
tinued. "The trouble was with all the
miners that they did not stay in one place
long CROUCH to make it pay. If they had
been content to stay where they were
making $40 to $50 a day, they might have
done well. But there were always false
reports of immense finds somewhere else,
and they would pull up stakes and move
on, only to find that they had been fooled.
No matter how well they were doing,
report OF something better carried them
off. In this way they spent as much in
! prospecting as they made in digging.
Some of them get terribly demoraliZed. l

Their folks could not send them money

about $500. Each week the members of

Correspondence of the Gazette. 81
VERNON, TEX, June 14.-Last Satur-
day evening word came 10 town that the
notorious Bill Brookin and band of out
laws were in the brakes of Doggy creek,
about twelve miles from town. Sheriff
Barker organized posse and started out
after them ABOUT o'clock p. m. 1t was
very cloudy and soon began to rain, and
continued to rain most of the night.
They got lost on the prairie and did not
reach the place where the outlaws were
said to be until o'clock IN the morning.
They surrounded the house OF one Addi-
son, known to be friend of the Brookins,
and called him out; searched the prem
ises, but only found two quarters of q
beef that Addison said so e strangers
had given him that day. The officers
persuaded Addison to accompany them to
one Meads, living half mile distant, and
another place of refuge for the
Brookins. Addison was fully two
hours in going the half mile,
and would have misled the
officers altogether hal he not been ad-
monished that his foolishness would not
longer be tolerated. They surrounded
Meads' house and called him out,
searched the premises but found nothing
but quarter of beef that strangers had
left there. The country on the Doggy is
rough and broken, and the night being so
dark and rainy that the officers were put
to q great disadvantage, and their horses
being run down, they went into camp
about q mile from Meads' about t O'Clock.
At daylight they were up and ready to
move. 1t YVES thought that the outlaws
had gone TO their old haunts among the
brakes of the Wichita, and four of the
posse returned to Vernon, the other four
pursuing the search, hoping to get some
trace Of the outlaws. II a couple of hours
they discovered Bill Brookin and another
man on the prairie and gave them chase.
The officers killed the horse Brookin was
riding and he mounted on G7hind his pal.
They kept up running fire for
several miles the outlaws changing
horses with any man they met. The Of
ticers being on horses which had been
rode hard over rough country all night,
were out run, and lost the parties in the
Beaver creek brakes, near the Wichita
county line. Not being able TO get fresh
horses, they returned to town, bringing
the horses that Brookin and his partner
had first rode down. Brookin had as well
keep out of Wilbarger county, for Sher-
if Barker and his deputies will be sure
to have him yet; and his allies here
might as well begin to look out for more
congenial climes. Our people are sore
over the depredations of such class, and
mean to enforce the law to the fullest ex-
tent, and men who will herbor them are
just as bad as they are, and their citizen
ship is not desirable. akst-@>

Wsshington's Fair Maids Doing Their Best
co Got Their Reports Into Newspapers.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE star of
the newspaper writer is in the ascendant
The newspaper rash has broken out VIC
lently in Washington, and the fad of the
society girl is to write for the newsps-
pers. Even Mrs. Logan has not escaped
it, and last Sunday two-column article
by her appeared in the Post. But the
way the dear girls are going for journal
istic honors is refreshing. One de-
lightful little thing, whose father is q
military officer of high rank, and who
goes everywhere, carries 8 dainty little
tablet around with her to dinners and
balls, wherein she puts down the names
and clothes of the guests. This young
thing and highly respected society cor

and other society incidents, and who goes
by the affectionate name of Long Tom

they get up the best society news IN
Washington. Naturally, oil the girls in
the delightful little things set aspire to
do likewise, partly impelIed by the won
derful tales they hear of the money news
paper writers command. |. is told,
and, moreover, it is believed, that
certain society writer here gets $500 q
month for four short letters. Another
woman, who tackles public affairs
chiefly and does little side work for the
magazines, is credited with making, not
two, three or four thousand dollars q
year, but $4,000 The girls think that
the editor, sitting in boudoir hung with
pale, pink satin. receives the postulant,
chances at her dainty manuscript, and,
touching q silver bell, an office boy in
velvet knee breeches escorts her down TO
the publishers office. There, in the dim
light of stained glass and wax candies,
the publisher sits and WITHSTAND writes
and writes-Checks all day long. He
hands the postulant blank check to be
filed az her own sweet caprice. She can
command this check any time she chooses
By simply rubbing the lamp-no exercis-
ing the pen. What they do believe is
only little less improbable than this.
Anyhow, they are all at it, and those who
are lucky enough to get in print are per-
feCtly delighted.

New York City Traversed by 90, 900 Miles
of Metallic Snakes
There are about 10000 miles of tele-

The 10000 miles of wire IN this city

1000 tons would be sufficient to stretch

The cost OF the wires is about cents per
